Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend

Chapter 59

B Side Of Player I didn’t expect to catch someone else’s attention, and when I turned around, I was shocked to see

Daisy. She laughed as she walked toward me, and my face turned red. If a crack suddenly appeared in

the ground, I wouldn’t hesitate to jump right in. Anywhere would be better than here.

“Miss Green!” The receptionist greeted Daisy in a respectful

tone.

I sighed at how quickly she had changed her tune. If I hadn’t seen her true colors just now, I would’ve

been fooled.

“What’s going on?” Daisy asked me.

Before I had a chance to answer, the receptionist jumped in and said, “Miss Green, this ignorant

woman wanted to see the boss without an appointment. I told her to come back after making an

appointment, but she still refused to leave. She even disrespected him by calling him by his first name!

I already called security to get rid of her.”

“You’re the ignorant one.” Daisy looked at her coldly. “This is Dr. Woods. She never needs an

appointment to visit. You’d do well to remember that in the future.”

I had to admit, Daisy was one of the strongest women I’d ever met. Even with her on my side, I felt

nervous. She exuded

power.

A woman like her would be a much better match for Aaron.

“But…” The lady stared in shock.

Daisy continued. “You should be glad that I was the one who found out. If Mr. Morris was the one who

caught you, you

would’ve been fired by now!”

She didn’t want to waste any more time on the receptionist. With a turn, she took my hand and walked

me toward the elevator. When I looked back, the receptionist was still frozen in disbelief, and I felt

satisfied.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

But when Daisy and I were face–to–face in the elevator, I felt a tinge of embarrassment again. She kept

grinning at me, which made me think of the last thing I said to the receptionist. Daisy heard me say that

Aaron had to get in line for me!

It was so humiliating… I wondered what Daisy thought of me at that moment. Would she laugh at me

for thinking I had a chance with Aaron?

I clutched the folder in my hand and tried to explain. “I know what you heard, but… I’m really here to

deliver my team’s research report.”

“I know.” She smiled. “Aaron’s a little busy right now. One of our business partners is visiting, so he’s

with them in the conference room. After that, he has another meeting that might take about an hour…

Then there are a few

appointments he has this afternoon… I’ll just take you to his office.”

“If he’s really busy, I could just come back another time,” I offered.

“He hasn’t been a good mood lately, so he crammed his schedule. In two days, he’s off to Moscow on

business. If you don’t see him today, I don’t know when you’ll get another chance.”

“What’s got him so upset?” I asked. As soon as the words left. my mouth, I noticed Daisy’s smile grow

for just a second. My interest in his wellbeing did not go unnoticed by her.

She turned toward me and scowled, “Apparently, someone hurt him recently. I wonder who. You’ll have

to ask him. yourself.”

“Okay…” Was she implying that his foul mood was because of me? How? I didn’t think I had that much

influence on him. Besides, why did I even care how he was feeling? That was none of my business.

Daisy took me to the office, poured me a cup of tea, and then excused herself to finish her work. “I’ll

give you a call when Aaron’s on his way to meet you.”

His office was simple. There was a desk and chair, a sofa, and a bookshelf on one wall. Overall, it was

clean and tidy, but it also felt cold and impersonal.

I sat on the sofa and reviewed the report while I waited.

As time passed, I drank three more cups of tea, but Aaron still wasn’t back from his meeting. After an

hour of this, I was having a hard time sitting still.

The meeting room was not far from his office, so I walked. down the hall and waited outside. Curiously,

I glanced through the window to see a dozen people sitting inside.

The first person I saw was Aaron.

He was sitting in the middle of the conference room with his arms crossed over his chest as he spoke

with his employees. It

was warm inside, so he was only dressed in a white shirt and black pants. The latter fitted him well: not

too tight, not too loose. It made him look lean and elegant.

During the meeting, his face wasn’t very expressive. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his eyes

were filled with a harshness that intimidated everyone around him. This was Aaron at work, and it was

a side of him that I had never seen before.

When I was alone with him, he always seemed like a smooth- talking playboy. In here, he was a cold

tyrant.

I couldn’t help but start to daydream as I stared at him.

Suddenly, as if he sensed my gaze, he turned to look at me. Those pure blue eyes, like a deep sea,

could suck people in.

My heart skipped a beat.
